Our snowflake moray, Erastus, hasn't eaten in at least two weeks. We've had him for several years now; he's never skipped eating this long before and my wife is getting worried. Generally, he sits in his PVC tubing, like so: He's usually visible like this about 25-50% of the time, closer to all the time when he's hungry. Sometimes, especially when he hasn't eaten in awhile, he'll come all the way out and slither around the tank: Last week, my wife was so worried I had to take two powerheads and stick them directly into two of the three portals to his tubing to try and blow him out to verify he was still alive. It took awhile, and he wasn't happy about it, but eventually he came all the way out. We looked him over as closely as we could, and while we couldn't tell if he'd lost weight or not there was no visible sign of disease or parasites. Still, he didn't want to eat then or the next morning. When we've put his food directly into the pipes we find it floating around the tank later (at least, what the trigger hasn't eaten). Nothing significant has changed in the tank. So, with all that as background, any ideas? How worried should we be (or not)? Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone, I am attending another conference this week that I think will have plenty of beneficial information for everyone here. The conference is the Regional Aquatics Workshop, or RAW (www.rawconference.org) and is being held in Atlanta, GA and hosted by the Georgia Aquarium. Here is the link to the scheduled talks, http://rawconference.org/presentations.html The first day of the meeting is tomorrow but I arrived today so I could fit in a whale shark/manta ray dive in the 6.3 million gallon tank at the aquarium. It was amazing!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow is kind of the "soft" start date. The first day is mostly business meetings and things of that nature because we are all together only once a year, so we get a lot done while we are here. The primary talks start on Tuesday so I'll have a lot to post about the day of talks, including a talk by me about my current research. Let me know if you have any questions, on anything, and I'll do my best to get them answered. Greg
